And when you can have one where you can tryout something new, then why not!!! :)<br />
<br />
Earlier this summer I applied to be a host with Tryazon. Tryazon is a company that seeks out people to host parties in their home to try out new products and offer feedback on those products.<br />
<br />
Again - WHY NOT!?<br />
<br />
So imagine my delight when they posted about needed hosts for a Rhodes Microwaveable Cinnamon Roll Party. Yes please!<br />
<br />
I applied and hoped for the best. Even though Drew is a chef and we eat amazingly well at home, sometimes we need something quick when we are on the go and these rolls sounded like the perfect thing!<br />
<br />
Well, last month I received an email saying that I was chosen to host the party! Woo hoo! <br />
<br />
So, last Friday I gathered with some of my friends and family to try out the rolls.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you, everyone LOVED them! In 60 seconds you can have a quick breakfast, or a great dessert. I can tell you that I will always have a bag of these on hand in my freezer! <br />
<br />
I am so thankful to have had this opportunity and I hope to have others with Tryazon in the future! <br />

Before the party, I was sent a "goodie" envelope from Tryazon. It included coupons to purchase the bags of rolls for the party and coupons to hand out to my guests, so they could purchase their own after the party! It also included this awesome oven mitt. Drew loves it because it is big enough for even his hands! :) </div>

And I promise to post more over the next few weeks, but as we approach Easter, I thought I would post some pics of the Easter Basket I made for J last year. <br />
<br />
I still can't believe how popular this movie has been and how many sweet Anna and Elsa's I have seen this year! :) <br />
<br />
This was one of my favorite baskets to put together. Not sure what I will come up with this year as our life has been turned upside down with our impending move and half of our house packed away.<br />
<br />
Regardless, she loved her basket last year and I really loved putting everything together for her!! <br />

J wrote a poem title "Frozen" for a poetry jam at school I typed it up in the colors to match her room and added it to the basket. I think she liked it the best! :) <br />

We celebrated Julianna's 7th birthday with a weekend of fun. She had her party at a local ceramics place. The kids painted and created and had a great time, and.......I didn't have to clean up! It was a win/win for me! <br />
<br />
On her actual birthday, we surprised her with trip to the equestrian barns at the University where Drew works. She was able to pet and brush some of the horses. She just loved it. From there, we headed to St. Louis and went to Grant's Farm. What a great place! We had so much fun and can't wait to go back this summer! <br />

JULY<br />
<br />
Jules and I took a mini-vacation to Branson in the middle of July. Mom and Tom drove here from AZ to spend a week with us and instead of coming all the way to Columbia, they stopped in Branson for a few days first so Lauren could drive up from Texas and we could come down from Columbia. It was a great way for all of us to see each other and snuggle up with Mia! It was a great weekend and I am so thankful we were able to see Lauren and Mia. Mom and Tom followed us back to Columbia and spent the week with Jules. Lots of fun was had by all of them. So much so, that they are coming back again this summer to spend a week with Jules! <br />

<br />
<br />
At the end of July, we took the vacation of a lifetime to the Smoky Mountains. It was so beautiful and peaceful there. We loved everything about it. We rented a cabin for the week and it was the best decision we could have made. We explored the area and fell in love with the peace it offered us. Our jobs tend to be extremely stressful during the summer months and that trip was just what we needed. In fact, we loved it so much that we booked and planned the same vacation for this year! Looking forward to 10 days of R&R in the Smoky Mountain air! <br />

Jules started 2nd grade! How does she grow so fast? She has really loved school this year and has the most wonderful teacher! She also fell in love with Mizzou volleyball and was able to attend a few of their camps during their 13-14 season, played in their weekly youth league and attended just about every game! Needless to say, we all became big fans! She is signed up for their week long camp this summer and is really looking forward to it!<br />

SEPTEMBER<br />
<br />
We had a busy month! We had visitors just about every weekend and took a lovely trip to Michigan at the end of the month. <br />
<br />
Rochelle and Reagan came down and we showed them what Columbia and Fulton had to offer. I was so thankful they were able to come for their first of hopefully many visits! <br />

<br />
The weekend after that, we loaded up the car and made the 9 hour trip to Michigan. My cousin was getting married and it was a great excuse for a long weekend get-away. The wedding was seriously one of the most beautiful I have ever been to and it was so great to see my extended Bush family. We extended the trip by a day so we could explore around the Holland, Muskegon and Grand Haven area. For the life of me, I cannot find my memory card with the pics from our day of exploring. :( Regardless, we completely fell in love. Some day our dream is to winter in Arizona and Summer in Michigan. Pure Heaven.<br />

OCTOBER<br />
<br />
This month wasn't too busy, but we still had plenty to do. Girl Scouts was in full swing and we had fun at a few events. Lots of Volleyball games, a much needed Girls Night for me, a trip to Des Moines to take family pics of one of my favorite families, a "roaring" Halloween and the birthday of the cutest 1-year-old in the world!!! Good times.<br />

NOVEMBER<br />
<br />
Pretty low-key month. We were able to take a quick trip to Branson during the middle of the month to meet up with my in-laws who have a timeshare there. We packed a lot into the weekend. A trip to the Titanic Museum, some shopping, a show and of course some delicious food. Very thankful we were able to take the trip!<br />

For Thanksgiving we traveled up to Des Moines to spend the day. We had a wonderful dinner with my parents and Grandparents and celebrated Christmas with everyone there. It was such a blessing to be able to spend time with everyone. <br />

Jules of course wanted to spend the night with the Chapman family, so Drew and I took advantage of it and actually went shopping on Black Friday together for the first time ever! :) It was really fun. Then after some convincing from the Chapman's, we decided to stay another night. <br />
<br />
The following day was Drew's 37th birthday. We took our time coming home from Des Moines and stopped at a few places along the way that we have always wanted to see. I think we went to dinner when we got home, but I can't remember where. But all in all it was a great day and Drew said that he was just where he wanted to be for his birthday - with his family. :)<br />

DECEMBER<br />
<br />
BUSY month! Things are always busy for both of us at the schools during December. We were both so ready for Christmas Break. <br />

Courtney came down for a Girls Baking weekend and to celebrate Christmas with us since she wasn't in town when we went to Des Moines for Thanksgiving. I love that she is willing to come down to see us so frequently and that she loves it if we have no particular plan in mind. We just take the days as they come and just love being with her! <br />

We were SO blessed to be able to travel to Phoenix to spend Christmas with my Mom and Tom. We almost didn't make it because of the horrible weather, they only had to de-ice the plane 3 times and we took off with almost 2 inches on the ground. Whew!<br />
<br />
We rented a house for all of us to stay in and spent 10 incredible days there. It was 70 degrees almost every day we were there and it was definitely hard to leave!!<br />

<br />
Christmas was wonderful and we were all blessed with amazing gifts, but nothing compared to being able to have Christmas with my Mom for the first time since high school! Jules loved it too and seems convinced that the weather is worth it and we should move there. Someday!<br />

JANUARY<br />
<br />
Once we got home from Phoenix, we still had 6 days of Christmas Break to enjoy. And enjoy it we did. We lazed around, took naps, watched movies and barely moved from our couch. We did venture out one day to see the movie 'Frozen' - ever heard of it? :) :) :) Just kidding. If you have a child under the age of 10, chances are you have heard the full soundtrack being sung by your little darlings everyday since the movie was released! <br />
<br />
Anyway, the R&R after our trip was just what we needed to prepare us for being back to work for.....LOTS of snow days! We had a few in January and I was able to stay home for a few of them and enjoy the day with Jules. Drew had to stay in Fulton over night a couple of time because the weather was so bad and because college kids still need to eat! <br />
<br />
Pretty much the most exciting thing that happened during the month of January was that a new grocery store opened here in Columbia. They have amazing produce and prices! Just what this budget conscious girl needed! :)<br />
<br />
Oh, and I joined Weight Watchers.....again. We have made some major lifestyle changes in our household and we are all healthier and happier because of them. Now, if I could just learn to love that blasted elliptical machine. But, alas, I hate the thing....<br />
<br />
FEBRUARY<br />
<br />
This month brought more and more.....snow days! We had the entire first week off for snow days and a couple more later in the month. All in all we had 11 days this year. School is going until June 5th this year! <br />
Crazy. <br />
<br />
Not much else happened this month. We dog-sat my friends dog and Jules fell in love. We are hoping to get this kind of breed for her (A Maltipoo) in the next couple of years. She had no allergic reaction whatsoever to Ellie and begs for one every day! :) <br />

<br />
<br />
We had a great Valentine's Day this year. Jules and I made some fun Valentine's to hand out to her classmates and we celebrated the actual day as a family. Drew cooked for us and bought me a great couple's devotional. We have vowed to make our marriage the strongest it could be this year. Our family motto for the year is "I love us." We say it just about every day to each other because at some point in the day, something happens to make one of us say it. There is no place I would rather be than with Drew and Jules. I just love us. :) <br />

MARCH<br />
<br />
March brought some crazy weather, more snow days, 82 degrees one day and snowing the next. Spring never really sprung. I scraped my car more time than I care to admit and by the middle of the month we were SO over winter!!! Thankfully we had something to look forward to - a trip to Texas to see Lauren, Mia & Cody!!! <br />
<br />
But first we caught the Mizzou/Florida Gymnastics competition. My Aunt Mary who is an Athletic Director for the Gators was in town, so we headed over to Hearnes to see the event. It.was.amazing. Jules loved it and I think between Gymnastics and Volleyball, we will be living at Mizzou this coming fall and winter! :) <br />

<br />
Then we made a quick trip to Des Moines. We had cancelled a trip in Feb because of the weather and we still needed to celebrate my Grandma Howard's 80th birthday AND we had Girl Scout cookies to deliver! :) Do you think I took any pics though? Nope. Grrr....<br />
<br />
Anyway, after a long week of anticipation, we loaded the car on the Wednesday of Spring Break and headed to Texas for 5 days! It was so great to see my sister and to spend time with Mia. She had grown so much since July and I could have snuggled with her all day. She had a hard time adapting to Jules which broke Jules' heart. I just think she wasn't used to being around someone older than her. There were still plenty of sweet moments between the two and it was very hard to leave. The distance is really hard on me. Hoping we can make a few trips this year to see each other.....<br />

APRIL<br />
<br />
This past month was pretty low-key, other than a fun girls weekend in Des Moines. The past few times we had visited Iowa, I had missed out on seeing my girls - Rochelle & Annette. So Jules and I made the trip up for a weekend. Courtney stayed with us at our hotel for both nights and it was great to see her and get caught up. She is one of my very best friends and I am so thankful we are sisters! <br />
<br />
Ro prepared an amazing brunch for all of us and it was so great to see my girls and catch up. Jules had a great time with Reagan and as usual, it was hard to leave. I have a great set of friends here in Columbia, but no one compares to my besties in Des Moines! <br />
<br />
From Ro's we headed straight to Mariah's to spend time with her family. Jules and Keaton are still two peas in a pod and refer to each other as sisters. I love when the two of them can get together!<br />
<br />
It was a great weekend and I hope to have more like them! <br />

Last weekend we had a wonderful Easter. We have started going to a new church and really like it. I had a great time putting Julianna's basket together this year. It will get it's own post. Let's just say when she saw it, she did not want to "Let it Go......" :) :) <br />
<br />
As we near the end of the month, I have my birthday, Mother's Day, our 10th Anniversary (can you believe it!?), Julianna's birthday and our family vacation to look forward to. <br />
<br />
As I created this post and reflected on what all has happened over the past year, I realized that I am SO incredibly blessed. With the hustle and bustle of life, some days I forget how much I have to be thankful for. Looking forward to seeing what is in store for us for the remainder of 2014. Whatever it is, I know it is going to be great! :)<br />

I know this post is over a week late, but I have to post about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Last Wednesday, Drew and I celebrated our 9th Wedding Anniversary!!! 9 years! Anymore, that is a huge deal! </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It has been a crazy 9 years. Lots of ups and downs, but as I have said before, we always come out of it bigger and stronger than ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
We have learned a lot and grown a lot over these years and know that no matter what, we will love each other until our last breath. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I love you babe and I am so thankful you are mine</div>

Each student had to pick a state and then learn all about it. They invited parents to come to their State Fair, where they each told us all about their wonderful State. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Julianna had Washington. She loved learning about that State and would come home each night excited about some new fact she had learned. On the day of the State Fair, each student had to bring a food that had to do with their State. Jules brought Apples. It was such a fun way for her to learn about something new and to get excited about it!!! </div>

Lots of love for me during that month!!! <br />
<br />
For Mother's Day this year, we hung out as a family and had a wonderful day together. We had my Aunt and Uncle and our Friends Linda and Sarah (and kids) over for brunch. Drew made Beef Tenderloin, with DeBurgo sauce, roasted broccoli and mashed potatoes. Yummo!<br />
<br />
We enjoyed a great day of fellowship with friends and family and time together. It was the perfect day!<br />
<br />
Jules picked out my gifts by herself this year and they were amazing! I received a necklace made from a piece of art she created, a Willow Tree figurine that depicts her and I and a recipe book made by all of the 1st graders. <br />
<br />
My Mom also surprised me and gave me a Collectors Set of my favorite movie - Singin' in the Rain. I LOVE it! Can't wait for it to become one of Julianna's favorite movies! <br />

These are my gifts from Drew and Jules. A couple of years ago, I started collecting Pie Birds. I just love all of the different ones that are out there. For my birthday, Drew gave me a collection of Le Creuset Pie Birds that I just adore!! He just gets me and loves to surprise me every birthday and Christmas!</div>

Lots of things to keep us busy at night and on the weekends. I try to take pictures of it all, but I never seem to find the energy to post things on here. I need to continue to keep up with this blog, because it really is a scrapbook of sorts for our family to look back on. <br />
<br />
The next few posts will be about things that happened during the month of May. It was a busy month with lots of visitors and filled with lots of fun!!!

<br />
I always forget how much I love working at a school during this week. There are 5 of us in our school and we have been VERY spoiled all week!!<br />
<br />
Lots of gift cards for coffee and food, treats, chocolate and small gifts. <br />
<br />
One of our favorite gifts was this beautiful poster made by the students in our Autism classroom. Just the fact that they were willing to get their hands dirty and create this piece of art for us, means more than you can know. We just cherish it!!!<br />

Today our boss gave me some cash to be able to take all of the Secretaries out for lunch. Someone else is taking on our duties for the time we are gone. So nice! We'll see if they can handle it while we are all gone!

We had a wonderful Easter this year! Drew was home with us all weekend and it was beautiful here in Mid-Mo. We dyed eggs, went to a great Easter Service, had an Easter egg hunt and ate a wonderful meal. I love having all of this time with my little family. So blessed!</div>

I just seem to use Facebook for everything now. <br />
<br />
Anyway, life has been busy over the past month.<br />
<br />
We went to Des Moines a month ago and spent the weekend with family and with Mia!!! It was a great time and I think I may have kissed her over a million times during those three days! :) I will post pictures as soon as I download them from my camera.<br />
<br />
We had quite a bit of snow over the past month and had 4 snow days! It was a great time to relax and snuggle in with Jules. They don't mess around here in Columbia. If there is an inch or two of snow, we are out of school! It was pretty nice having those unexpected days off! <br />
<br />
Drew was on Spring Break last week and was able to get a few things done around the house and take some much needed time off. He has been working like crazy since Christmas and needed this time off. <br />
<br />
He is seeing a Dr. next week for his ankle (again) and for his sleep apnea. He hasn't been feeling like he is getting good sleep, so I am hoping the Dr. will be able to help him with that. <br />
<br />
Jules and I have Spring Break next week. We CANNOT WAIT for this time off! We plan to chill out and watch movies a couple of days, get our nails done, go to a paint your own pottery place, shop, eat breakfast at Panera and just enjoy our time together. I am very much looking forward to some down time. <br />
<br />
We have had a lot of deaths recently at the school where I work. Spouses, parents, a student and other loved ones. It has been difficult. So I am very grateful for this time I will have with Julianna. <br />
<br />
After Spring Break, we only have 8 weeks of school left! I can't believe it. This year went by quickly, but I am so thankful for the new friendships I have developed and the growing I have done professionally while working there this year. Looking forward to a laid back summer and warmer weather!!! :)Chef Stinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14732449780727698425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356931563515683460.post-22417923941627493942013-02-15T09:47:00.004-06:002013-02-15T09:47:45.401-06:00So Excited!!!Tomorrow I will be snuggling with this little cutie!!!! I can't wait!! Jules and I have Monday off because of the Holiday and Lauren happened to have the day off too, so we planned a trip to Des Moines so we can all be together! <br />

I can't wait to get my hands on Mia's precious little face. She has changed so much since we saw her in November and has developed quite the personality. I can't wait to snuggle with her, love on her and hear her giggles! <br />
<br />
Jules can barely stand it, she is so excited to see Mia and Aunt La La! Everytime Lauren posts a new picture on Facebook or texts me one, Jules kisses the screen and says "Cousin loves you!" <br />
<br />
We played Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who will get to hold her first and Jules won......so it will be hard for me to not snatch her out of Lauren's arms, but I can't wait to see Jules interact with her either. <br />
<br />
Really looking forward to a great weekend with my family and some friends! <br />

<br />
I know I have said this before, but we are so blessed to have such a great kid. She brings so much joy to our lives and I fall more in love with her everyday. <br />
<br />
She is thriving in First grade and loving everything that she is learning. <br />
<br />
She LOVES to read and I just can't believe how much she takes in and what she is able to read. She amazes us each day with some new thing that she has learned. <br />
<br />
She has made lots of new friends this year and is enjoying getting to know new people. She has worked really hard on overcoming her shyness and even offers a handshake if she meets you for the first time. <br />
<br />
She started Girl Scouts last fall and really loves it. It is a committment from all of us, but it has really been worth it. She had her first cookie sales earlier this month and set a goal to sell 100 boxes. She turned in her form with over 150 boxes sold! She was really proud of herself!<br />
<br />
She is growing like a weed. Last week her Dr. measured her at 4 feet 3 inches. She is going to be tall like her Daddy!<br />
<br />
He would love to see her more passionate about basketball, but the only sport she has interest in right now is......wait for it.....BOWLING! :) She just cracks me up! <br />
<br />
She is obsessed with art and creating. For Christmas, she got an art easel with paints, and lots of canvases. She has had a blast painting and creating new art for our home. Just last week Drew was talking to her about how math was his favorite subject and she told him - "I don't really care for Math. Art is the only thing that speaks to me." Ha! I love it!<br />
<br />
She love, love, loves Jesus. She talks to Him each day and is always asking him how Grandpa Tonsi is doing. She also talks to Grandpa Tonsi everyday. She misses him so much, but knows that he is watching over her and helping to guide her in her daily walk. Her faith is so adorable and so pure, I just marvel in it and I learn a lot from her. :) <br />
<br />
Right now we are focusing on her helping out with more chores around the house. She does a great job of doing anything that we ask, even if it takes a few gentle reminders. She is GREAT at helping out if one of us isn't feeling well. She has a nurturing heart and always wants to try and make you feel better. And she has a wit that I have never seen in another 6 year old. She just gets stuff and has an opinion about everything. And she isn't afraid to voice it. Don't watch a cooking show with her, she will tell you everything the chef is doing wrong and how her Daddy can do it so much better. <br />
<br />
She makes me laugh daily and makes me so grateful to be her mom. I could go on and on about her, but I will leave it at she is doing great, she has adapted well to living here and seems to be having the time of her life right now. <br />
<br />
I look forward to watching her continue to grow and develop into an amazing person. Again, we are so blessed! <br />
<br />

When we first met, I would send him random cards in the mail, just to put a smile on his face. Now that we are married it seems like we get so worried about doing things for Julianna and everyone else that we forget about each other at times. <br />
<br />
So this year, I came up with something fun to do for him at Christmastime. <br />
<br />
For the 12 days leading up to Christmas, I surprised him with a gift each morning. The gifts had to go along with the number for that day. It got a little tricky for a couple of the days, but he loved every gift and the thought that went into them. <br />
<br />

Since we text off and on throughout the day, I thought he would enjoy a few that don't involve grocery lists, Julianna or random rants about our day. I won't tell you what they all said, but let's just say he was a little more in love with me by the end of the day........ ;) </span></b></div>

After a quick bath and PJ change, she was back in bed and slept soundly the rest of the night. We actually had to wake her! I know for a fact, my parents can never say that about me or my siblings growing up! :)<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful morning opening gifts and enjoyed being together as a family. It was truly a blessed day. We didn't leave the house all day and just sat and watched movies, played on the Wii, danced and ate until we couldn't eat anymore! Have I ever mentioned what a fantastic chef my husband is?!? <br />
<br />
Drew surprised me AGAIN with an awesome gift. Something I have wanted for a while, but I will save that for another post. <br />

We had a great time, but we really did miss all of our family in Iowa. I think they missed us too, so we will see what happens next year! <br />
<br />
We lazed around most of the day on Christmas Eve, but did manage to get out for a little bit and go to my friend Dawn's house for dinner. Drew wasn't feeling the best and said he still had some wrapping to do, so he stayed home. <br />
<br />
When we got home from Dawn's he had a GREAT present waiting for me! :) <br />
<br />
We spent the rest of the night baking brownies and getting the house ready for Santa's arrival. I love that Jules is still young enough to believe in the magic of Christmas and enjoys every moment. After opening a few gifts and reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas, we sent her off to bed and finished getting things ready. Oh and built a Barbie Dream house. Have I ever mentioned what a good Daddy Drew is?!<br />

New Christmas PJ's. You will notice in the next post that she does not have them on Christmas morning. She had an episode of sickness in the middle of the night and she had to change. Poor thing. Or maybe we were lucky. She didn't wake up until almost 9:30 Christmas morning, so we were all able to sleep in. After staying up late to put together the Barbie Dream House, it was a bit of a blessing!! </div>

Her look of surprise is because she wanted this little puppy SO bad when we were at Cracker Barrel one night. I told her she didn't need it, but snuck away and purchased it for her. She was SO happy! </div>

Our Christmas Eve tradition for Jules is always a new pair of PJ's, one toy and a new movie. This year she received two movies - The Barbie Christmas Carol and The Flintstones Christmas Carol. She watched them both and loved them! :) How can you not love the Flintstones?!?!</div>

I never post on here anymore. There are so many things I want to say and then when it comes time to type them, I am at a loss for words! <br />
<br />
We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Another year of staying home and inside all day just the three of us. It was great. Though, we did feel the tug of missing our families this year. We were not able to make it to Des Moines before Christmas, so we didn't get to share in the magic of watching everyone open the gifts we put so much thought and effort into and they didn't get that chance to watch us open ours. It was different. Hoping next year we will make it work to be in Des Moines or for others to come to our house!<br />
<br />
I am still working on the pics of Christmas, so once I have those ready, I will post them. Drew really surprised me this year with something that I have been wanting for years. So I can't wait to post about that too!<br />
<br />
We were very blessed to be able to have 11 days off together as a family. I never take for granted the time we have together and I am so happy that we both have jobs in education and we are able to be off with Julianna during her breaks from school! Such a wonderful blessing. <br />
<br />
We slept, watched movies, made some great food, slept some more and vegged out most of the break. Julianna wasn't feeling the best, so we laid low and got in some great rest and relaxation. I am still not ready to be back to work, but only a couple more months until Spring Break! :) <br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I promise in 2013 I will try to post more and write more. ;)<br />

As we become more involved in different things and make new friends, it seems our life become quite busy! We love it and we have been able to do some really great things lately.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago we ventured to the quaint little town of St. Charles, MO. Their Main Street is truly Magical. It looks like something straight out of a Dickens novel. We loved walking around and shopping at the little shops and watching all the characters dressed up and listening to the carolers. It was a great day and a place that we will definitely visit every Christmas!<br />

We are all SO ready for Christmas break. We have 11 glorious days off together! We plan to do a whole lot of nothing. May take a few day trips, we may not. I know for sure that I want at least two full days where we don't get out of our PJ's and we just watch movies all day!<br />
<br />
We will miss everyone on Christmas day, but we are really excited to have the day just the three of us. We may get some snow on Christmas Eve too, and Jules is excited about that. Most importantly, we are excited for family time together and for the new memories that will be made!!!Chef Stinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14732449780727698425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356931563515683460.post-34671426118881538782012-12-15T08:56:00.002-06:002012-12-15T08:56:51.144-06:00I have no words......I still can barely even think about what happened in Connecticut yesterday. When I saw the news, i just sat there and cried. My own precious baby was sitting in an elementary school where something like this could easily happen. <br />
<br />
Why would someone do this? To children? <br />
<br />
Yesterday I left work early to attend Julianna's Christmas Program at her school and I cried through the whole thing as did other parents. Reflecting on how lucky we are and thinking that we will hold them a little closer that night. <br />
<br />
Last night Julianna had her friend spend the night. I let them play, color, make a mess, jump on Julianna's bed and eat whatever they wanted. I just wanted them to be kids and enjoy every minute of it. <br />
<br />
Never take for granted one moment with your kids. We have been so blessed to have Julianna as our daughter and not a day goes by that we won't tell her that!

Which I don't want to do as this serves as my little scrapbook of the year. <br />
<br />
Anyway, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We were blessed to be able to travel to Texas to see Lauren and the baby. <br />
<br />
Drew, Jules and I hit the road around 11 a.m. the Tuesday before and made it to Longview around 10:00 that night. When we arrived I quickly gave hugs and kisses to my Mom, Step-dad and sister, but only had arms for that precious baby. The second I saw her, I started bawling. I just couldn't believe my sister is a Mom! Mia is the second most precious baby I have ever seen. ;) <br />
<br />
She is so good and just let me snuggle and kiss on her the whole time we were there. She is just perfect! <br />
<br />
Drew and Jules were smitten too and I was a little surprised to see that Julianna wasn't jealous of Mia at all, she was all about helping her and taking care of her. She was so gentle and sweet with her. It was so precious. Makes me tear up just to think about it. Our window is slowly closing, but if we were blessed to have another baby, Jules would be the BEST big sister!<br />
<br />
We had a great Thanksgiving day, we ate well and had much to be thankful for. That night we celebrated Christmas with everyone and Santa even paid Jules a visit and brought her a very special gift she had been wanting!<br />
<br />
My favorite moment was when my sister opened Mia's gift from Drew. He had bought her a series of Little Golden Books. Lauren was touched by the first book, but her reaction to when she saw the second book was priceless. When she and I were growing up, we must have read the book "There's a Monster at the End of this Book" a thousand times. Our copy of it was torn and tattered and falling apart by the time Courtney and Morgan could read it, but they read it too and loved it just as much as we did. Well, Drew LOVED that book too when he was little, so he wanted to get it for Mia. When Lauren saw it she got all wide-eyed and said "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!" Then started crying and reading it. It was so amazing. My step-dad said it best when he said "Well, that must have triggered a special memory." :) It was definitely my favorite moment of the day! :)<br />
<br />
The next day I got up bright and early and did a little shopping. I got everything on my list and then headed back to the hotel for breakfast with Drew and Jules. <br />
<br />
We met Lauren and Mom and Mia later and did a little more shopping while Drew and Tom ran around doing who knows what. Those two are hilarious when they are together! <br />
<br />
That night we hung out at Lauren's and tried not to think about leaving the next day. :( It was SO hard to say good-bye to my sister and to Mia the next morning. But thankfully, Lauren has been sending me a picture each day, so I can see her as she grows! She has already grown SO much in the past 3 weeks! <br />
<br />
We made it home around 8 Saturday night and the drive was perfect. It was a great getaway and like I said before, we have so very much to be thankful for (as you can see from the pics below)! <br />
